At GRID, we have always believed that the pretty destinations are secondary to the various reasons we travel. In Issue 10, we honor the people who have enabled us to experience the Philippines in different and better ways with a series of short films by Lyka Gonzalez.
This first video introduces our feature on People Who Are Changing the Way We Travel.

Mia Sebastian of Flotsam and Jetsam Hostel and Kiddo Cosio of El Union, in La Union share their experience growing a community in a place they love. As part of GRID Magazine’s 11 People Who Are Changing the Way We Travel, the pair reveals the moment that convinced them to stay beachside.
“Whether by accident or by design—or perhaps by some unspoken agreement—the development in La Union has been thoughtful and slow, remaining sensitive to the locals and to the spirit of the place.”
